Leftover roast beef makes a good soup. Just add vegetables (carrots, corn, greenbeans, potato etc.) and water, with an envelope of lipton recipe or oxo or beef broth and simmer a couple hours.
yeah we use our bones and carcases for broth and make it ourselves and use the extra meats for soups as well.
Leftover taco and gr beef mixed into rice. Stuff into peppers. Top with cheese and bake in the oven.
leftover tacco meat, macaroni, a few diced veggies, some tomato soup and a water and them add cheese to the top once the noodles have fully coooked. Mmmmmm makes me want some now, lol!
Just add leftover meats to your salad and you have a gourmet salad.
Oh, I wish we had leftovers more often!
My son's fave is when there is leftover chili, and I make it into soup.
chili soup.. that sounds deliciousQuote:

hahaha. Great minds! This past week we had tacos on tuesday; stuffed green peppers on wednesday. :PQuote:

Au jus roast beef sandwiches = roast beef stew = Pot pie or blended and frozen to make a base for the next soup :)
Chicken/turkey dinner=soup or pot pie
Spaghetti mixed with sauce = spaghetti cassarole
Pasta noodles=quick chicken noodle with boxed/powder broth soup, pasta salad or just another pasta dish.
Boiled Potatoes=parogie cassarole, fish cakes, potato salad, fried potatoes
I love leftover pasta, I don't know why. The cooked ones are great, but the leftovers are excellent as well.
Nachos is a good idea! I never end up eating my leftovers and need to be more creative with it. The boiled potatoes - perogy casserole is a smart one too - the BF would love it!
what I have done with left over taco meat is boil my fav pasta, heat up the left over meat with the toaco sauce in it and then drain the pasta and put everything together! :) it is really good and it is a quick pasta dish!

Go buy more shells!!! You can never have enough of mucho fun tonight!!!
From last week, I took leftover cooked fish (we bought the monster size tray of lake trout at costco and had 2 generous meals + 1 entire filet leftover) and made it into fish tacos (well, quesadillas really) with a bit of lime-cilantro salsa, a touch of miracle whip and some monterey jack cheese. I toasted them in a pan to give a bit of crunch as all of the rest of the ingredients gave softer textures. There were no leftovers, so I think it'll be a recurring recipe for leftover fish!
I bring my left over taco stuff for lunch the next day but mix it with a salad.Quote:
